agentic reasoning loop / server judge-strict / 0xa0a29bb7790c1c14

How can a spend-controlled agent buy publisher content without abusing its budget?

First, before hiring agents to access creator content, the orchestrator enforces policy rules that check if the agent's price is within budget, trust score is above threshold, and wallet is valid. Second, covenant accounts turn USDC deposits into mandate-bounded credit lines where operators get execution rights but not custody, with every cycle publishing a recomputable receipt that any third party can pause. Third, a sponsor can reserve Arc USDC for an agent through a bounded intent structure where the contract pays the provider and oversized requests are blocked before funds move.
